Scanning DVB-T2 broadcast using PCTV Nano Stick DVB-T2 (PCTV 290e) for DVB-T2 broadcast..........Nope, still no changes in channels listing or carrier.

Let's see how SKKM allocates/regulates frequency spectrum in Malaysia. There are lots of info in the document, but I want to focus on DVB-T spectrum only.

VHF TV Broadcasting
Channel 6-12 will used for DTT service after Analogue Switch Off (ASO)

Note: I found a 2MHz bandwidth 'DTT signal' around Channel 11 or 217-219 MHz to be precise using SDR scanner (GQRX) . But I don't have decoder or software to decode the signal.

The signal is weak, from my work desk; inside office building. but it's there.

UHF TV Broadcast Band V
Channel 35 to 54 are reserved for DTT services. Now,we already got channel 44 (658MHz) and 46 (674MHz).

So, we know that more DTT service may/will come in the future. How soon? Just wait and see.


Thank you.

But once it goes digital, the video and audio quality may improves a lot. Yeah, still need to use decoder to enjoy the DTT broadcast.

SDR = Software Defined Radio.

It is a software based RADIO, and we can tune to ANY, yes ANY frequency within the hardware's limit.

Using certain software or tools,we can decode weather satelite data link, commercial aeroplane's ADS-B broadcast data which contains coordinates, speed, altitude, flight nubmer ...... we can hear ..... err cannot say here .... With correct setup, antenna, and location, SDR can be our BIG ears in sea of radio signal.

Yeah, if I am bored with DVB-T, I can use the dongle to do other thing.
That what I did in post #186 in this thread.

Yes, we need to clarify with the minister for the 'claim'.

It might be meant to be "The country fisrt started DTT testing, 2008 and has the LONGEST testing periosd." (pun intended)

Anyway, something is moving ..... eventhoug is slow....Slow and Steady win the race .... at the FIRST place.

I know we have some "bad habits", but be positive and advice them for improvements. We still need them, just be patience.
